RoxFM celebrates first birthday
ROXBY DOWNS...Community radio station 105.5 RoxFM celebrated its first birthday last week. From a handful of volunteers at the first broadcast on January 11, 2003, the station now boasts a volunteer register of more than 60 people. The station’s success has been the result of hard work and strong community support, volunteer station manager Deb Paliska told The Monitor last week. “I feel very proud of RoxFM - the people here have become a family and the station has become very important to the community,” she said. “We bring information, education and entertainment to the community - but for the volunteers RoxFM provides satisfaction, friendship and some solid career skills. “We’ve talked to other radio stations and they don’t have anywhere near the same kind of youth involvement as RoxFM.
“Being part of the station has been important for a lot of the town’s young people - giving them self esteem and confidence.” Mrs Paliska thanked the community and, in particular, that station’s financial supporter Laurence Duggan. “Without Laurence paying the bills we wouldn’t be here now,” she said. “We’ve been very successful though, a lot more than we could have expected in our first year. “We’re currently operating on a temporary licence but we’ve gotten through our first year without any written complaints to the CBA and we expect to get our permanent licence this year.” RoxFM volunteers celebrated the station’s first volunteer with a free barbecue and a giant birthday cake on Sunday, January 11. More than half of the station’s active volunteer roster were at the station to join in the celebrations.
